Function to create TpBaseClient from a .client file

Description
It's so easy for .client files and the TpBaseClient to get out of sync, causing havoc. It would be nice if you could simply create a TpBaseClient from a .client file.
Proposed API:
TpBaseClient * tp_base_client_new_from_client_file (const char *filename, TpSimpleObserverObserveChannelsImpl observe_channels, TpSimpleApproverAddDispatchOperationImpl add_dispatch_op, TpSimpleHandlerHandleChannelsImpl handle_channels, gpointer user_data, GDestroyNotify destroy);
If observe_channels, add_dispatch_op or handle_channels were defined, and the .client file did not define that type of client, there could be a WARNING.
All properties such as name, recover, delay_approvers, the filters and capabilities would all be learned from the .client file. The uniquify property would clearly always be FALSE (you don't want a unique name for a registered client).
